Hi there, I am using the claim ownership command on the root of a user's personal drive to change ownership of any items created by other users within the same workspace (that are located in this user's personal drive).
The reason for this is to simplify file ownership in personal drives as part of a larger project to transfer all data to another workspace
This is the command I started with:
gam user mark@example.com claim ownership mydrive
However, I get this error unexpected error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "__init__.py", line 63290, in ProcessGAMCommand
File "__init__.py", line 51634, in claimOwnership
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'changeParents' referenced before assignment
I think the changeparents variable was introduced in the v6.24.08 update which added this:
Added option [<DriveFileParentAttribute>] to gam <UserTypeEntity> claim ownership <DriveFileEntity>
By default, claim ownership does not change the parents of <DriveFileEntity>; this options allows
specification of a parent folder in the My Drive of the claiming user <UserTypeEntity>
I managed to find a workaround by referencing a folder within the user's personal drive e.g. "test folder" (however not really scaleable for all users):
gam user mark@example.com claim ownership mydrive parentname "Test folder"
The command now successfully runs and claims ownership of any file/folder starting at the root of their drive as I wanted.
Hope this is helpful and thank you for the tool, its amazing. I am using the latest version GAM 6.24.19 on Windows
